"content": "Hon. Speaker, I remember that, that matter was raised in the House. From the practice and precedents of the House, Members only pay through a check-off system when one of their own in the Parliament passes on. When it is a former Member of Parliament, we usually take the list round and it is collected on a voluntary basis. That is the decision Hon. Nyenze and I reached on the matter of the late Hon. Shitanda, who was a very good friend of mine. I will still ask Hon. Injendi that, as we sit here, he takes the list round starting with me and the other leadership. We will do our contribution. The precedent is that it is only a check-off system - and the leadership writes a letter to the Speaker and the Clerk - when it is one of our own in the current Parliament. That is the decision we have reached."
